Reno and Las Vegas[edit]

I decided to add Reno and Las Vegas to the list with Reno as part of the Northern California and Las Vegas as part of Southern California. Even if these cities are in The State of Nevada, they are still part of their respected mega region

Megaregion Maps[edit]

The RPA map reflects out of date population data from before the 2010 US Census. Please search for an up to date replacement.

North East region au Quebec/Canada[edit]

I would like to see more details on the North East and great lakes mage regions from a North American perspective that includes both canadian largest cities, Toronto and Montreal. My feeling is that Toronto is more linked to the great lakes economically and historically but that Montreal is much more linked to the North East region through the Champlain's region, both historically and geographically related. Upstate NY, burlington, etc. is very much integrated with Montreal, less than 100 miles away. Slavoie (talk) 18:24, 7 March 2017 (UTC) slavoie[reply]

Would this map be better ?[edit]

I found an alternate map showing not 12 but 21 megaregions, I also think it is cleareer since it shows contiguous clusters of U.S Census Tracts (population density 20+ persons per square kilometer) having an aggregate population of 2+ million residents

https://philip-kearney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/megaregions.png

It also indicates sources contrary to the map currently present. Should this map be used instead ?

Megaregion not hyphenated?[edit]

Why is Megaregion not hyphenated? Shouldn't this word be mega-region? ♥Th78blue (talk)♥ 13:45, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should disconnected cities be included?[edit]

The double double asterisk cities on the regions list take away the meaning of megalopolis Caucasia is already kinda a stretch because Olympia to Vancouver Washington is a long gap of nothing but Spokane and the tri cities being one megalopolis with the rest is absurd there is a very tall mountain range and a full desert between those cities and the west, even calling tri cities cohesive with Spokane is absurd 75.172.121.172 (talk) 06:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

US megaregion map with cities labeled[edit]

Hello, I edited the US megaregions map to include labels for major cities (and some minor cities of interest to me). The original map linked on this page was created by the Regional Plan Association and was uploaded with a CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Based on what I read, it appears that this license allows you to modify the original file. I will try to upload the modified version here. I hope I didn't misspell any of the cities.

Population Density[edit]

The matrix showing the mega regions, their size, and populations should also include population densities. 98.114.124.83 (talk) 17:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Self promotion?[edit]

This article largely seems to be research by Regional Plan Association (RPA), especially the "Identified U.S. megaregions". This seems like self promotion or a conflict of interest. Should the RPA's original research really be here? 173.165.155.98 (talk) 19:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
